Abstract: To facilitate the administration of the IMLS application and review processes for its discretionary grants and cooperative agreements, the agency uses standardized application forms for eligible libraries, museums, and other organizations to apply to its funding opportunities. The forms submitted for public review in this Notice are the IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form, the IMLS Museum Program Information Form, the IMLS Supplementary Information Form, and the IMS Budget From. The IMLS Library-Discretionary Program Information Form, the IMLS Museum Program Information Form, the IMLS Supplementary Information Form, and the IMLS Budget From are each included in one or more of the Grants.gov application packages associated with IMLS grant programs’ Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs). These forms automatically transmit data into IMLS’s electronic grants management system, eGMS, through a system-to-system interface. This action is to renew the forms and instructions associated with all IMLS NOFOs from fiscal year (FY) 2027 through FY 2029.
